 There is new building going up on High
 street, corner of Library street, opposite the Yale gymnasium, which, when completed, will add another to the large number of buildings which Yale college already posses
 ses. Work was commenced on this new building the latter part of last month. When 1 completed it will be fine piece of architec- tural work. It is to be one of Ysles chemi-
 cal laboratories and was designed by Edw. E. l Rant, an architect of New York. James A. Church is the joiner engaged in doing that
 class of work on the building and Smith & Sperry are doing the mason work. Workmen are now busily engaged on the basement Its debt will be half above ground.
 The building will be ninety-five feet front on High street and seventy-seven feet front on Library street. It's depth on High street side toward Chapel will be ffty-one feet, while the depth on Library street toward
 York will be ffty-one feet. The building
 is thus in the shape of carpenters square.
 The building is to be very unique and inn posing in design. The outside will be of Jersey stone, in places artistically cut, back of which will be a thick layer of brick. With heavy iron beams and brick work in- side the building will be about as substantial as can be made About the only wood to be used in the foundation are the window si1ls. The part of the building at the corner of the two streets has been rounded off for the en- trance. Up flight of steps with iron rail- ings one will find himself before a set of highly polished doors, on either side of which will be stained glass and fancy work of many nj ha a hhv about ten feet wide. Fronting on the sec ond floor, just above the entrance, will be a row of closely attached windows Just above each is a half circle of fancy glass, which, when extended about this curved curved corner, will the top of this curved corner looms the tow CT. On every side of the building there are to be large windows with ornamentations. From the second story on each side of the tower the building runs gradually to peak It will be forty five feet high to the top of the second floor and ffty-six feet away up to the peak. When the building is finished which will be some time yet-when all the fancy work and commentators designed to be made are completed, the building will at- tract uncommon attention.
 In the west wing of the basement will be the work shop, the furnace and the engine. the dynamo and all the machinery necessary for the laboratory. The storage room will be in that part at the corner of Library and High streets, just under the entrance to the build ing. At the junction of the west and the south wings will be the apparatus room,
 On the first floor the hall opens out of the lobby at the entrance to the building, To the left, as you enter, is the preparation room, facing High street, and still further to the left is the laboratory, which also faces on High street, and takes up the whole of the south wing of the building. In the part of the building on Library street and toward York is the large lecture room, with seats arrayed in a half circle. There are some smaller rooms which are not designated for any special purpose
 On the second floor, facing Library street, is a recitation room, back of which is an of flee, the private laboratory, and the balance room. The private laboratory is on the rear corner of this wing so that it might have ail the light possible. The second large laboratory occupies the whole of the south wing, and directly overhead of the laborato- ry on the first floor. On this floor, overhead the main hall from the entrance of the build ing. is the library, and next to it on the High street side is the preparation room.
 The inside of the building is to be fitted up with all the modern improvements and with all it's adornments, it's decorations, it's embellish- ments and it's neat architectural design it will be structure worthy of the name of being an adjunctive building to Yale col lege.
 Another laboratory is to be built on High | street back of the Art school, where two old l fashioned white houses now stand.
